Quick TV Review – ‘Fawlty Towers – The Play’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Yes, I know. I’ve talked about ‘Fawlty Towers – The Play’ twice already having seen it twice in the Apollo Theatre in London back in February and August this year. But recently, a special recording of the theatre play was shown on TV via U&Gold, which is pretty amazing. Continue reading

DVD Reviews – ‘Dad’s Army: The Missing Episodes’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Back in January 2024, I shared a quick review on the ‘Dad’s Army – The Missing Episodes’ DVD, which was released in 2023. This contains animated reconstructions of missing ‘Dad’s Army’ episodes from Series 2 and ‘Christmas Night with the Stars’. It’s taken me a while, but I’ve updated my ‘Dad’s Army’ reviews accordingly, based on the ‘Dad’s Army – The Missing Episodes’ DVD release. Continue reading

Quick Reactions to Series 14 of ‘Doctor Who’ (ALL in ONE COMPILATION)

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Just to give you an update, I’m hoping to do my in-depth reviews on Series 14 of ‘Doctor Who’ with Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson very soon. Before that happens though, I have a couple of 62nd anniversary celebration ‘Doctor Who’ reviews I want to share on my blog in November and I’m hoping to work my upcoming ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season for December 2025 leading into January 2026.

BB@10 – Reflection on Christmas


Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

I know it’s early to talk about Christmas as we’re in September, not December, but frankly, I celebrate Christmas in more than just one month. This is emphasised in some of the Christmas Specials I review as well as preparing for Christmas before December happens. Continue reading

Novelization/Audiobook Review – ‘Doctor Who – The Church on Ruby Road’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

We’re back with another review on a ‘Doctor Who’ novelization/audiobook, and this time, it’s on the first Fifteenth Doctor TV adventure that was shown on Christmas Day in December 2023 called ‘The Church on Ruby Road’, featuring the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday. The novelization is by Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, based on the TV script by Russell T. Davies, and the audiobook is read by Angela Wynter, who plays Cherry Sunday, Ruby’s grandmother in the TV series. I purchased the BBC Books hardback edition of ‘The Church on Ruby Road’ novelization as opposed to the Target paperback edition. Continue reading

Quick TV Review – ‘Joy to the World’ (Doctor Who)

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Wow! It’s been a while since I did one of these quick reviews on a recent ‘Doctor Who’ story. I know I did a quick review on Series 14, but that was a general summary on the whole season, not on an individual story. It’s nice to do this little review on one special. 🙂 Continue reading

Christmas with Sarah Sutton on ‘Bradley’s Basement’ 2024

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

“Merry Christmas Sarah!” 🙂

I received a very nice Christmas present from Sarah Sutton (Nyssa in ‘Doctor Who’) today. It’s a photo of her as Nyssa in ‘Snakedance’ with a message saying, “To Tim “Happy Christmas and a Happy 2025″ Best Wishes, Sarah Sutton”. It was terrific of her to send it. Continue reading

Merry Christmas from ‘Bradley’s Basement’ 2024 with special guest star Millie Gibson

Merry Christmas everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

It’s Christmas time, and here’s my latest Christmas photo of me with Millie Gibson, who plays Ruby Sunday in ‘Doctor Who’. I had the photo taken with Millie at the ‘London Comic Con Winter’ in November 2024. It’s likely Millie won’t be in the ‘Doctor Who’ Christmas Special ‘Joy to the World’ today, but that doesn’t mean she can’t appear on my blog for Christmas Day. 😀 Continue reading
